Hi.
I want using Aris javascript API to extract data from a *.doc file.
Is this possible? How it's done?
( I'm using Aris Business Architect 7.1 )
Why do I need this ... You see I have a large number of .doc files. The info in them has to go to a several models and diagrams. So I was planing to transform them into .xml files and then import them into Aris using Aris javascript API ... No problem here I know the path to do that. However this means coding two steps:
1) .doc to .xml - external program
2) .xml to Aris repository - javascript API in Aris Business Architect 7.1
So if there is direct path by javascript API in Aris Business Architect 7.1 it will save me efford.
Assuming the speed of Java under ARIS and debugging issues I would recommend to do this job in 2 steps (batches)
- Prepare bulk of XML data (verified and proved) - do the content
- Import XML data into ARIS - do the import
By separating content management from content import you can prove that RIGHT content will be IMPORTED
This simplifies the whole job by doing it in portion not to mention that you can subcontract 2 programmers to do this job in parallel.
